You're probably right i don't understand it. That's a lot of energy and effort put into pleasing people whom can and probably do have ulterior motives just so you can belong to a group.

Is that group really wort all that effort?

Does belonging to that group get you where you want to go?

The answer for me was a resounding no but it could be different for you.

There's very few people worth my respect and consideration but I certainly wouldn't bother to please and entire village.

If you're not pissing people off you're doing something wrong.



Well, ya know the saying "It takes a village to raise a child.". That same mindset assumes the entire village is the family. So if you grow up in that world, you don't want to disappoint that community.

>>If you're not pissing people off you're doing something wrong.

I definitely try to run my life as opposite from this as reasonably possible. "Reasonably" being the word that's very debatable.
